S6E13 | Sara Rice M.A., LPC-S - Trauma, Conditioning, & Identity: A Clinical View on D.I.D. & RAMCOA

Today I’m honored to introduce you to: Owner and founder of Koinonia Counseling Center, Licensed Professional Counselor, ISSTD member, survivor advocate, support, and helper, content creator, educator., proud wife and loving mother, documentary and true crime lover, and a woman single-handedly changing how the world sees and understands Dissociative Identity Disorder: Sara Rice M.A., LPC-S

Sara is a compassionate and dedicated professional mental health counselor whose life’s work centers on empowering survivors and fostering healing in those facing profound challenges. As a certified supervisor for Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and the proud wife of an Army Veteran for over a decade, Sara brings a deep well of empathy and resilience to her practice. A mother of five children, she balances her bustling family life with an unwavering commitment to her clients and her ongoing pursuit of knowledge.

Sara earned her Master’s degree in Counseling from Liberty University and is currently working toward a doctorate in Traumatology, reflecting her relentless drive to deepen her expertise in trauma and mental health. With a trauma-informed approach, Sara’s practice is a sanctuary for survivors, offering hope and guidance to those who have endured unimaginable hardships. Her ability to connect with clients stems from her deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and her genuine care for each individual’s journey. Sara’s work is not just a profession - it’s a calling to uplift, empower, and restore.

I personally met Sara on TikTok, where her account graced my For You Page and I immediately followed and binged her page. I was so impressed by her work, the content she was creating around such a difficult topic, and her clear passion for her work and clients, that I contacted and asked her to be on this podcast so we could all learn from her - and was so grateful she agree to come on. Her understanding of the complexities of DID, compassion for the RAMCOA community, and her courage to be speaking publicly about these topics that few in her field will touch make her a hero in my eyes, someone who deserves our support, and someone we can all benefit to learn from.

Sara is far more than a counselor; she is a radiant force of hope, a tireless advocate, and a living testament to the transformative power of compassion. Through her work at KCC PLLC, she lights the way for those navigating the deepest shadows of their minds, offering not just solace but a path to empowerment and renewal. Her dedication to survivors is a clarion call to the resilience of the human spirit, reminding us all that even in the face of profound pain, there is always a way forward. With every client she supports, every story she hears, and every life she touches, Sara weaves a legacy of healing, hope, and unyielding belief in the possibility of brighter days. Her journey inspires us to embrace our own strength, to seek knowledge relentlessly, and to extend a hand to those in need, proving that one person’s compassion can ripple outward to change the world.
